UPDATE (Monday, 11:20 p.m.): Saturday Night Live has pulled the video of the skit described below, and bloggers including Michelle Malkin suspect that the Sandlers and/or their partisan allies put pressure on NBC to kill the segment. Interesting speculation. What a worthy topic for investigative reporting, eh, ProPublica? (The jibe being that this supposed crack, disinterested journalistic venture is funded by Sandler and has yet just once mentioned this fellow in its reporting on the financial crisis or other groups he funds, like ACORN.)

And we’ll leave the video up as a silent rebuke …
It first seemed like just another belabored, overly long skit this weekend on Saturday Night Live, although certainly timely. Mockery of them all in a mock news conference: A dull President Bush, a hyperpartisan Speaker Pelosi, Rep. Barney Frank, deadbeat homebuyers and speculative creeps.
